Montrail Rock Shoes

Any word on these guys?

 

REi stocks them.

Apparently they were designed with the help of Scott Franklin, who used to be a renowned hard-person, and presumably knows a thing or two about rock shoe performance. Couple that with a presumably healthy budget being as they're from an established company, and you could be looking at some reasonably good shoes. 'course, the only real test is to try 'em on and try 'em out. If they fit and climb well, then you're stoked. Who knows, though? Last time Franklin was endorsing shoes it was Boreal's Vector, "like little Ferraris for your feet", ca. 1993. Shoe designs have changed a good deal since then (or at least, GOOD shoe designs have).

My roommate just picked up a pair of the black velcro-styled slippers last week. He loves them. They are slip lasted, and he says they're very responsive. He's only used them indoors so far. Based on his recommendation, I'm actually thinking of getting a pair.

 

They are currently "value" priced, presumably to build a customer base.

Does this "roommate" have the Sportiva foot or the 5.10 foot?

I dunno. He had 5.10s before but never liked 'em.

 

Not that you asked, but I'm on my 3rd pair of Mythos. I love those things. Every time I blow them out, I try on everything else available, and nothing fits as well as the Mythos. I used to wear Boreal exclusively, but they changed something a few years back, and they didn't fit my foot anymore.
